So, I'm trying to simplify an install process for a small group of<br>
developers. I want them to be able to simply run a script that contains<br>
the payload of software to be installed.<br>
<br>
I recall being able to do this with something called a shell archive?<br>
<br>
It must be able to do more then just populate a directory tree though.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions???<br>
<br>
